(-16) × (-15) + (-16) × (-5)
Solution:-
Using the Distributive Law of Multiplication [(a×b) + (a×c) = a ×(b+c)]
Let,
a= -16, b= -15, c= -5
Then,
(-16) × (-15) + (-16) × (-5)
The above equation can be written as,
= (-16) × {(-15) + (-5)} … [∵(a×b) + (a×c) = a ×(b+c)]
= (-16) × {(-15- 5)} … [∵ (+ × −= −)]
= (-16) × {-20} … [∵(− × −= +)]
= 320
